Hey Chris, I hope Fuji is watching this...because you are definitely my No1 reasong I will buy and stay with Fuji. Let us know in advance if you will change the camera system, so I can follow. BR from Slovenia #ifeelsLOVEnia

" a few sandwiches short of a picnic" still chuckling... love it... thank you...

Hi Chris, I'm loving your X-T4 videos especially as I bought this camera just a week ago. I may use it to shoot some of my next KZfaq video. This "timer" video is very timely, no pun intended, but you have made a mistake in this video. I want to use these timer features to enable me to get into group wedding photographs. You can not combine the INTERVAL TIMER SHOOTING settings with the SELF-TIMER settings and this is a bIg shame as I really need to be able to do this. Ideally, I want to set the Interval Timer Settings to take multiple shots every few seconds and after a short delay or say 20 seconds to enable me to join the group. You've rightly pointed out that the START WAITING TIME can not be set below 1 minute and let's hope Fuji can give the option for some shorter wait times so I was hoping that the SELF TIMER settings of 2sec and 10sec would combine with the INTERVAL TIMER but they don't! You thought that these settings can be combined but I don't think that's the case, unfortunately. Keep up with the great videos, they are so helpful. John.

I absolutely love your videos! There’s something about your positivity, genuineness, and likability…plus your amazing knowledge. You almost have a Bill Nye the science guy personality. When I was in school, I always look forward to the days that we watched those videos. I kind of related that to watching your videos…can’t wait to watch them! Thanks for making your videos interesting and fun to watch. You’re a good dude!

Yet another video where I learned something I didn't know before! Had no idea about the extra screen for the pre-delay on intervals! So handy!

I am so tired after watching this, totally exhausted lol. Now a big thanks to you Chris, after watching your medical vid the other week I did the Bowel Cancer Screening thing, all clear I am glad to say, I hope others took the hint.

Excellent as usual. The best thing Fuji did recently (aside for the GFX 100s perhaps) was to have some of the cameras (I am only aware of the XT4, GFX 100 and 100s) remember the setting for self timer. Godsend if one uses it a lot and has to deal with the camera shutting down and have to reset

Thanks for another great video! I learn something new every time I watch.

Hi Chris! Thanks for this valuable information! Been , somehow, absent of social media developing a few projects. Best reference for Fuji on YT!!! Definitely! Cheers

The hidden screen made it - deep knowledge with the sensor cleaning mode thing too. Would be a progress for Fuji listening to you. Great 👍

I used the timelapse to record how my plants slowly move overtime during the day, one of my fav features

Thank you so much for this useful explanation 👌👌👌

Great helpful video as always Chris. And a good laugh at "a few sandwiches short of a picnic" loved that one! Never heard it before. Thanks for the video.

I have smile detection in my X-A5, and it actually works. I was surprised that the X-E3 and X-T3 didn´t have this feature.

Dude, thank you so much. These videos are so unbelievably helpful

Hi Chris, I wanted to let you know that your emails / notifications of the new video uploads are (still) very useful in reminding me when a new video is up. Thanks!

Thanks, Chris - you've made this feature make sense to me.

Such a timely video. Just used this setting, and I need to revisit your time lapse video - that one was packed full of useful info! THE LENS TWIST!! 💯

One additional feature to tweak is how the number of shots only functions as a scroll - you have to scroll up to get to your desired number and it would be helpful for each digit to scroll Independently - when I’m setting up time lapses and the count is typically 350-500 it’s so exhausting to set that high number each time; it wastes time and energy when a different number filed (similar to the time) would allow you to get your shot count set faster.

Thanks, it's very useful! I love timers for timelapse. Have a nice week! (And cheers up with the busy week!)

Helpful, fun and very useful as always Chris!!! I hope Fuji starts listening to you, or, even better, hires you as a consultant. That way we would have great firmware updates. Thinking of it, I should be hired too by Fuji to write those firmware updates 😊

Thanks for the video! I am sure you would agree with me when I say Fuji should provide more than just the 2 second and 10 second self timer choices (maybe add 5 second delay option???).

Your videos are 100% helpful. Great stuff!

Hi Chris, thanks for Fuji suggestion, smile detection should be a powerful tool as the OPEN eyes detection

Interval timer - start on shutter release press, would be on my wish list.

This channel is so good I watch the ads

Very weird that they didn't include that self timer update to the x-t 3 since it is very swimilar to the x-t 4

the man is a genius. Glad you are well. All the best from UK

Ty!!!! You are adding value to my xt3 (classic)

User: ok lets switch on the timer. Fujifilm camera: self destruct sequence initiated

Hi Chris. Great vid and the interval timer is something I’ve yet to utilise. I did notice that if I set my XT3 to low speed burst (CL) and then set the self timer for 10 seconds, that it took 3 shots each time . Maybe this would work with the interval timer to give you multiple shots each time it fired?

Well, this is cool!

Self timer memory is is my only gripe on the xt3...hopefully we'll get this in a future update.

08:45 I wish I could choose „as quick as possible“ or „at least xx sec“. That would be helpfull for Holy Grail timelapses, where because of varying shutter times the interval is also variable. Although I must admit, the automatic Holy Grail Setting is very good in the X-T4. It also ramps the Intervalls, but as you said „...wanna have control...“

Did it take me a year to learn this … yes but thank you😂

Hi Chris, some more info for you because i use a lot the interval timer for self portrait: I prefer put af M after focusing before start shot. Sometimes in afs i find fault focus photos an some correct. If you put afc the camera will continue focusing so if the subject is moving this mode il helpful. If you are not in full manual mode, you can have picture without the same exposure because camera recalculate ae before all shot. The interval time set between two shot is calculated from the star shoot or the end? If you have 10 second of exposure and 9 second of interval time between shot what happen? Last one, if you shoot with flash you have to calculate the flash charging time when set the interval time, if not you can have some wrong image 😉

Another great video! Thanks again!

Great video! I enjoy the tips you provide to make the use of my Fuji XT4 easier. Can you do a video on the pros and cons of shutter types?

Thanks, it's very useful

Awesome video. My suggestion to Fuji even if they can’t put AI on the camera for smiles detection maybe an audio detector for “cheese” for some alternative to fire with that sound

RE: Multiple shots in a second triggered by the self timer. Set your drive to Continuous Low or Continuous High instead of Single Shot and the camera will shoot 5 shots or so when the self timer reaches 0 from 2 seconds or 10 seconds.

definitly, the timer should be 2, 5 10, 20 seconds at least. I made the suggestion to Fuji when the XT-3 and 4 did not exist yet.

Second and waiting for the timer show!

XE4 doesn’t combine self timer and time interval. But not such a big problem, i can set more photo to accommodate that. But I like to have a choice for AF-C to work in time interval so subject doesn’t have to stay in one focus plane. Burst mode self timer is useless, it take multiple shots too fast.

Hey Chris, my biggest quarrel with the Canon R6 is that the self timer option locks focus, then counts down 10 sec and finally takes the shot. My old nikon Z5 would first count down, lock focus and lastly take the shot. What does the Fuji XT4 do? For taking selfies, I prefer the Nikon order because the Canon would lock focus while its facing the ground making all selfies blurry.

Ok why didn't I think about using the interval timer for group shots. Do pics with family and always running back to restart self timer. Usually because some one wasn't looking or smiling. 😀

Hi, great video, as usual! If you want to have a picture taken, let's say, every 0.3 secs with the interval timer maybe we can set the interval timer to 1 sec, then put the camera in slow burst mode (setting 3 frames per sec)... Does it work like that? I don't have my camera with me right now... Or maybe shooting in brackets with filters? You can still remove the filters in post, if you are shooting in raw... Let me know what you think! Thanks!

I think if in slow or high speed shooting you will get multiple shots using timer mode. Also do you think we will get the timer mode save feature at anytime on the XT3? Thanks for the always good info you dig up

Just a reminder what's the lens you got on the camera in silver

Hello.... You mentioned the sensor cleaning issue during this video. What setting do you recommend.

I had no idea that extra interval timer setting menu was there.

in my xt200 there are some settings with different auto focus or for face tracking. I use it to get myself and for long expoosure so i dont have to touch the camera

Nice video but I was hoping you'd have a solution to restoring the count down timer feature when taking longer exposures, right now my screen is blank where it used to show the number of seconds left until the exposure was complete and the shutter would close.

Hi, on X-t4 the combination does not work, when I set the intervalometer with OK it necessarily switches to the waiting time in minutes, if I exit with BACK it does not keep the setting, it shoots with the self timer but only one shot

how about the focus mode and target focus point during interval timer mode? does it work with continuous focus and eye detection in single shot focus?

I have this one problem that is when I use the timer I get like 3-4 shots and I only want 1 sometimes, I’m new to the Fuji system and got a new XT-4 and this videos are very good to learn, do you have some tips to get around that?

Hi there! Can i please ask how you were able to use the self timer setting along with the interval timer (to set to 2 or 10 secs) before taking the shot? I have the XT4 and I cannot seem to use both features together. Do I have to set the delay on the interval timer first?

FYI...Combining Interval shooting with the self-timer doesn't actually work. The interval timer will not allow self-timer to begin taking photos and the self-timer will not allow for interval shooting.

How to set af-c with self timer any idea ?

@pal2tech Thanks for the video. Can you make a video showcasing the time on the files? i have a problem with my XT3, but dunno where, either bluetooth sync time messed up my timing or... ? 1) i turn on bluetooth sync geo location and tagging (i believe my date and time also sync) 2) some of the files on my memory cards, shown a NOT sequential order on the files (this is the 1st problem) 3) after i copy to the windows (it seems like the time change ? (this is my 2nd problem) any advise?

I notice you have the timer on and af-c is still displayed on your screen/viewfinder. However, on my xt 5 when I am in photo mode, if i switch on the timer; I can only use af-s. AF-c is no longer an option, is this normal?

Hey Chris, if a person had the number of frames on infinity, how do they stop the timer? Shut down the camera? Thanks!

Just got my XT4 and it makes a very quiet humming noise when on , is this normal. Thanks in advance

Hey there silly question but do you know if a way to have a self timer for video?

Hey pal2tech , I have a question , how can we achieve the slow shutter effect recording on a fuji xt3 ? Great video by the way ( as always 🙌🏼 )

Do we still half press the shutter to lock focus? Thanks

Love your vids. Can you please do one about iPhone 12 vs a compact like the fuji x-e4 with a pancake lens? if you’re not gonna have a lens with nice depth of felid because you want compact, does it make sense to get the fuji? Thank you!

Can't you use the bracketing mode for the group pictures?

Has someone given you a GFX100S yet? If you can get to New York, you're welcome to borrow mine for a few days. (I don't really wanna ship it!)

Hello Chris

Hi👋

🎖🎖🎖🎖

What's the name of the small tripod mounted to your camera?

I think Fujifilm might as well stop including the Owners manual in the camera boxes while selling their cameras and ask the new buyers to watch your channel instead... it's too good 👍👍

No FF! desole

Sensor cleaning is useless garbage. Clean the sensor manually.
